Travel Agent.
B. A. are still managing two or three flights a day to LHR during the strike period and I think from Wed or Thur that increases to a planned full service by Friday. It seems that the always cancel NCL flights first perception has not been so during this dispute, the percentage of flights operated is no worse than on other LHR domestics. In fact during the first strike weekend I think more flights operated NCL-LHR than on the other B. A. LHR domestics.
I reckon there could be some really cheap B. A. deals coming along as soon as the cabin crew situation is sorted.
They seem to be doing very well at sorting anyone with affected journeys, and of course apparantly operated about 70% of long haul from LHR today (Sat ), So hopefully your trip to Toronto will be O K even if more strikes are announced.

Cancellations
Travelagent,
Don't stress about this. It is worth knowing that both NCL-LHR and LHR-YYZ flights operated on Saturday and will do so for the rest of this 4 day strike. Keep an eye on the news as Unite must give 7 days notice, so you'll be clearer by 10th April. If there is a stike when you are due to travel call BA as soon as they announce the revised schedule. Use the disruption option and you'll find a building full of Geordies willing to help you. If the worst comes to the worst, they'll reroute you with KLM. If something else is announced when you are in Canada affecting your return journey call 1-800-AIRWAYS.
Have a good trip

Just to clarify, from the details on BA.com, BA operated 3 out of 5 NCL-LHR flights on Saturday, plan to operate 2 out 5 today and 2 out of 6 tomorrow (no departure before 13.40).
From a quick look at EDI and GLA, it does seem that this is no worse than other LHR domestics.
Hopefully it will be sorted before your trip and you won't be affected.

one of the airport police officers is trying to set up an official enthusiasts group at the Airport. If anyone is interested he is asking to be emailed direct.
[email protected]
he just needs full names / address of people interested for a meeting which is being held in April at the Airport

Airport to scrap free drop off zone outside terminal ...

Oh no, another New York post...
I see that CO are pulling out of BRS after 5 years.
I think that puts the absolute, final nail in the coffin (its not a dead rumour, it's just resting - pining for the fjords...)

How long has the airport had those vending machines for the "Fast Track" security?
Noticed them for the first time today.
I fly fairly regularly with Eastern, and so I get to use the Fast Track as part of the fare, and while its a nice bonus, I really cant see the justification of paying £3 for the privelidge, especially as sometimes you end up at the same X-ray, and sometimes theres no queue at the main line anyway.
RTG!

I think they were only installed over the last 7-10days. I saw them for the first time on Wednesday when i flew BMI to BRU. But they weren't there on the 30th March.
Must admit, I am tempted to use myself. But only if the queue is back to the top of the stairs.
